2.4.1.2 Encrypted File Recovery

If a user leaves the company or goes on vacation, the administrator can access the user's encrypted files by

resetting the user's password in Active Directory and then logging on as the user. Windows Server 2003 will

build a new encryption key with the new password hash to re-encrypt the private keys. Alternatively, you

can open the user's encrypted files using the credentials of the Data Recovery Agent (DRA). The default

DRA is the domain Administrator account.
